0ur opinion: :No Description Available.Genre: Feature Film-ComedyRating: PGRelease Date: 14-AUG-2OO1Media Type: DVD :The sixth Pink Panther comedy was the last to star Peter Sellers (the following film in the series incorporated previously unseen footage), and it was also the last in the series to show any signs of genuine inspiration. lt's a weak entry in the Panther pantheon, involving a rather mundane plot about a 'French Connection' drug deal that leads lnspector Clouseau--presumed murdered and now sleuthing incognito--to Hong Kong for a brash, slapstick finale that ...

Eric Porter stars as the brooding captain of a decrepit scow smuggling illegal explosives with a questionable crew and a desperate cadre of passengers (including Hildegard Kneff, Suzanna Leigh, and Tony Beckley) into a hurricane. The initial melodrama turns to high-seas adventure as the ship battles the storm with volatile cargo and finally to a strange, moody fantasy. The ship becomes entangled in a creeping ...
